Bessie R. Hironimus EPW-USA President

Welcome to the EPW-USA federation web site! We are glad you are here! Enterprising and Professional Women (EPW-USA) is a member-driven organization whose mission is to empower working women in the United States. Under the umbrella of the International Federation of Business and Professional Women (IFBPW), our main aim is to develop through education, mentoring and advocacy, the professional and leadership potential of women at all levels. Its members take professional responsibility economically, politically and socially; they think and act locally, nationally and internationally; engage in networking, mentoring and lobbying; enjoy life-long learning; work with the United Nations and other international organizations; and develop multicultural friendships. The vision of EPW-USA is that of a working environment with complete equality for all, a society where women and men have equal access to employment and compensation, education and health care. These are the key issues of importance to EPW-USA, its members and the millions of working women throughout the United States. We extend a heartfelt invitation to join us.
